The Drama Club at the William H. Barton Intermediate School will present “Switchermoo! A Cosmic Cow Caper” for families and community members at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 6 on the Queensbury Elementary School cafeteria stage.
In the play, aliens intercept a signal from Earth about the most prestigious prize on the planet — a county fair blue ribbon. The aliens decide to enter their cow in the fair’s “Best Cow” contest, so they can be the talk of the solar system!
In the hysterical confusion of meeting a human girl named Maisy, the aliens accidentally switch their cow for Maisy’s cow, Daisy Belle. With the fast-approaching contest, the aliens and humans both plot to switch back the bovines. Complicating matters is a simple-minded detective, Lt. Applebottom, and his team of alien catchers.
Will the cows get switched back in time? Will Lt. Applebottom catch the aliens? And how do grilled cheese sandwiches become a peace offering?
More than 100 fourth- and fifth-grade students are participating as actors and stage crew. The show, which will also be livestreamed, runs about 45 minutes.
